Yes, well, I was discussing a period in the United States in the 1950s
and early 1960s, when there was plenty of overt discrimination against
Jews in the United States. Your boy Nixon was a raving anti-Semite. And
those Christian Southern Strategy Republicans? Ever hear a meeting of
them talking about blacks and Jews? I have.

And there is plenty of historical data indicating Christian hatred of
Jews in this country and, of course, in Europe throughout the centuries.
Ruth Bader Ginsberg has spoken publicly about the antisemitism she
faced, as has Bernard Marcus, one of the founders of Home Depot.

Who do you think the antisemites are in this country, if not mostly
Christians?

To say Christians hate Jews is the same as saying Whites hate Blacks.
There may be some Christians
who hate Jews, just as there are some Whites who hate Blacks.

Do *you* hate Blacks? If not, your stereotyping sucks.

FDR would not bomb any of the railroads to the death camps. That bastion
of Democrat's Joe Kennedy was extremely antisemetic.

Regardless, it is still a repugnant stereotype.

It could be the self loathing Arabs, who are actually semitic people too.

I don't understand the fascination or glorification of the Kennedy's. They have done nothing
but leave death and tragedy in their wake.

I agree JFKs only real claim to fame was being shot and the other two
were criminals.
We always hear how popular he was but he was on his way to losing the
64 election. That is why he was in Dallas in the first place, trying
to recover the southern democratic base that he had lost.
LBJ couldn't even hold the old south.



Excuse me while I giggle.

It has become politically and culturally incorrect to make

Of course as we have seen, there are exceptions to every rule.



So, Gregg, do you think "Jewish people" are good businesspeople because
there is something inherent in the Jewish religion that genetically
encodes them to be that way, even though religion is cultural?

It is cultural.
Most of the cultural factors are positive
Education
Low alcohol and drug use
Responsibility
Family structure
Community networks
Tradition.

Yeah that is a horrible thing to point out.

Funny how that Harry is so adamant about Christianity being just another
far-fetched fairy tale (to which I agree about it being) but doesn't
seem to say the same about Judaism.
